It’s not too early to start planning your next off-site corporate event! Right in the middle of winter, when everyone comes back from long holiday breaks and vacations, the motivation to work is usually high. But the days drag on without a big holiday, and the weather starts to get nicer as the days get longer. You might find your employees daydreaming out the window a little more in the spring, or feeling frustrated with life in the office when the warm days of the Piedmont Triad take hold.
How can you get a reset after the Q1 rush? Our team at Legacy Stables and Events has some great ideas to help boost your employees’ motivation and productivity, without having to travel far to experience the fun.
Why is it important to go off-site to participate in team-building activities or even training sessions? There are many benefits to getting away from the office, including boosting morale and helping motivate employees. Getting a change of scenery is great to spark brainstorming and improve morale.
Team-Building Experiences
Legacy Stables and Events is a great venue to host team-building experiences, thanks to our variety of spaces available for your business to use. We have a choice of indoor or outdoor spaces, as well as the flexibility to accommodate both large and small groups.
To really encourage team-building, plan on having an activity that can get everyone involved. We’ve got a few listed here, some that are great for families if you choose to expand the event beyond your direct employees.
- Wacky Awards. Did you just end 2025 by giving out awards at the annual holiday party for top sales, most improved employee, etc.? Turn that on its head with a light-hearted ceremony that gives out fun awards, such as Walking Encyclopedia for the person always spouting interesting facts, Mission Impossible for that super athlete, Calmer of Storms for the person who helps everyone get along. Let your team help brainstorm more awards and vote for winners like you would high school superlatives.
- Trivia/Pub Night. You can create your own trivia game or bring someone in to host it, and design questions or themes that appeal to your business.
- Kentucky Derby Bash. Encourage everyone to wear their best, most extravagant hat and serve up some mint juleps while you cheer on the horses at the Kentucky Derby (this year on May 2, 2026).
- Office Olympics. Remember field day in school? Host one for adults! Plan events like a three-legged race, a tug of war, and a balloon toss. This is a great one for families.
Off-Site Training
Another opportunity to get a change of scenery is through hosting training or other business-related company events at an off-site location. Whether you’re launching a new product, introducing people to a new initiative in customer service, or conducting training on new software, hosting that training at Legacy Stables and Events can have a positive impact on your employees. Just like the team-building events, getting off-site can improve morale and might even get people to pay attention better, thanks to being in new surroundings.
Our location is convenient for businesses in all parts of the Piedmont Triad, from Winston-Salem to Kernersville, High Point, and Greensboro. It’s especially helpful for businesses that have a lot of employees working from home or multiple locations throughout the region or state, to bring people all together in one place.
